I think a lot of you forgot just how horrible Harris was against auburn. Like, he completed a single pass, struggled in the huddle, and couldn't convert a single first down. He looked absolutely lost.
so how would you rate BH's performance at Auburn in his first career start to AJ's performance against New Mexico State AT HOME in his SIXTH start Holmes? didn't he turn the ball over 3 times in a quarter? it's a wash in my book and most everyone else's too with any sense. the issue that the BH supporters has is why hasn't he played since? there's no logical explanation.

I am a supporter of both guys, as crazy as that sounds. As far as comparing performances, they both sucked in their worst games. But, i can get over forcing throws against a shite team more than watching some guy just not look like he belonged on the field. And I would take Jordan hare over TS booing me any day of the week.
Harris has played since, he threw a pick vs UK.
The logical explanation is that Harris might be an even worse option this year. Objective evidence supports this as a possibility. Further, the coaches may actually believe Jennings gives them a better chance. They have a lot more to go on than you or I. Another piece to that logic is we won 3/5 of the past games, and all if them were tight, so I can see not taking a chance by switching QBs, although that argument holds a lot less water in the ark game.
I have said it before, and will say it again. Harris is a very raw prospect. I challenge the board to find any piece of published writing from this time last year indicating he would be ready to go this year; you won't. He was never going to be a first year starter, that's why he wasn't a 5 star. He may have been the most talented QB last year, but he wasn't ready to go out of the box.
Everyone seems to clamor "prepare him for next year! Let him play and take his lumps!" Well, not one person on this board has coached at a high level, much less watch practice. It is reasonable to assume that letting him sit, might be the best thing for his future.
I'm just as frustrated that our offense is horrible as everyone else. However, I don't just assume one option is better just because I don't like the other option.

Leading up to the Alabama game (we've only played one game since), there was most certainly a logical explanation. The explanation was that, despite Jennings' obvious shortcomings, the team could play with anyone with the improvement on the OL. And, they were right.
After the Bama game, it should have changed only because we need to develop Harris for next year.
